Ashokan Farewell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kZASM8OX7s It was used as the theme tune to a very lengthy and detailed documentary mini-series about the American Civil War. Although it sounds as if it dates from that period, it is in fact a modern composition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashokan_Farewell |

Here are my main ones.
The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles. Nothing Rhymed by Gilbert O'Sullivan My Way by Sinatra. Just Like A Woman by Bob Dylan. Lots of songs from Musicals ie Somewhere from West Side Story. I'm just a big softie really. The above post has reminded me of I'll Never Find Another You by the Seekers. It breaks my heart as it reminds me of my ex Husband and everything we had when things were good between us. Last edited by Cpt James Kirk : 25-08-2015 at 15:32. Reason: Addition. |

Susie Suh x Robot Koch - Here With Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzR8BCmV9Ew I'd never heard of either artist and would never have came across it had it not been for my friend sending me it. Such an emotional haunting track

This.
I listened to this sitting downstairs whilst my daughter was upstairs asleep on her last night at home with me before she left home to move in with her boyfriend. I can't listen to it anymore. Also Angel, Sarah McLachlan.

The acoustic version of Local Boy In The Photograph by the Stereophonics. Such a beautiful song. It always makes me think of a friend who died 15 years ago. He's gone but will truly never be forgotten. The whole song is sad but the last line "He's gone away" really gets to me. I think many of us probably know a local boy in the photograph.

a couple more weepies from Bette
hello in there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KchO6_4i0hg the rose Edit: Hello In There reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTIbX6Cm9JE Winter Shines by Chris While and Julie Matthews (with the wonderful Chris Leslie on violin). In the CD sleeve notes it says that Chris W wrote it about her ageing mother who was becoming frail and had to go into a care home for a short period of respite care. When Chris went to pick her up, she was sitting with her handbag on her knee waiting to come home, her biggest fear being that she would have to spend her last days in a rest home. Chris's voice is gorgeous, one of my favourite female voices ever. |

![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfpW5pAq71c Great version! I love the song and agree re your comment. I'm in my 50s now and still remember a couple of people who passed far too young. |

I love all those songs (BIB)
Especially with INFAY it celebrates the joy of a spouses' love or closeness, I guess.The way Sinatra performed My Way as a performer's last hurrah (at the time) was just so good and fitting Beautiful song and a legendary singer/entertainer ![]() Somewhere is just so beautiful, I wish I had someone to sing it with, its a song of longing (imo) ![]() Re My Way. Its like a swan song in many ways. I always say I want it at my funeral but my kids always pull a face. Ha ha. I just find the song so incredibly moving and can relate to it so much. |
